For a claimed equal op****tunity skeptic, you sure believe a lot of what
you
read in the newspapers.

The NW Passage was first navigated *at all* in 1906 - a century ago.  It
was
first navigated in a single season in 1940. Navigations are becoming more
frequent as the ice cover thins.  Your musings commenced from the wrong
premise.
